The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1848: Continuing the Investigation

Ye Shikai wanted to help Su Qingyu, but she didn’t accept it. Ye Shikai knew her too well. Su Qingyu’s pride wasn’t outward but ingrained within her. Regardless of whether this matter was Chen Yuxin’s deliberate doing, she would never yield, even if she ended up "covered in bruises" in the end, she wouldn’t care.

"Qingyu, I know you’re upset." Ye Shikai held Su Qingyu’s hand. The business of Tianya Group was "intercepted", leaving aside personal feelings, just this alone made Su Qingyu simmer with anger, but she couldn’t vent her anger at Wu Yu or accuse Chen Yuxin of "backstabbing"; she could only suppress her rage. But once a person is repressed for too long, they will eventually collapse.

"I’ll ask her about this matter." Ye Shikai said lightly.

"No need." Su Qingyu declined directly.

"Qingyu, I know you are strong, but can’t you let me... do something for you?" Ye Shikai persuaded.

"You don’t owe me anything anymore, besides, this is a matter of the business world, I would never mix personal emotions with it, would I?"

"That’s true." Ye Shikai thought carefully. Since he knew Su Qingyu, except for Ye Shikai’s "proactive investment", Su Qingyu had been in charge of Tianya Group’s matters. After she found out about Ye Shikai’s identity and influence as the Netherworld King, she did not use it to help Tianya Group expand. Whatever the business needed was how it was done. Even when she was Ye Shikai’s wife, she never utilized Ye Shikai, and now that they are divorced, she wouldn’t do it even more.

This is also related to Su Qingyu’s personal style; business is business, never mixing other emotions, keeping things straightforward and clean-cut.

"Actually, I’m not blaming Mr. Wu either. He is the son of the Wu Family and naturally represents the interests of the Wu Family. I don’t know how much profit his cooperation with the Chen Group will bring, but I am very sure that if it weren’t urgent, he wouldn’t have torn up the contract." Su Qingyu said softly. "The current Tianya Group is still not in his eyes, but in the future, he won’t underestimate it."

"Qingyu, whether you are willing to accept my help or not, I have just one thing to say, if you need anything, I’ll always stand behind you."

"Alright, I understand your intentions. Actually, you really shouldn’t feel like you owe me anything, I did everything willingly." Su Qingyu also comforted, knowing deep down Ye Shikai hasn’t forgiven himself, so every time he saw Su Qingyu, he felt guilty, and when he heard she had difficulties, Ye Shikai would always try every means to proactively help her.

"Let’s change the subject. You came to Hong Kong, I heard, to solve a case, right?" Su Qingyu suddenly smiled, changing the topic, finally easing the cold atmosphere in the car.

"Yes, a very mysterious case."

"Ever since we’ve been together, everything you encounter has been accompanied by crises. Can’t you do something a bit simpler and safer?" Su Qingyu teased.

"That’s not possible, perhaps I’m destined to do big things, small cases don’t even reach me."

"Alright, stop bragging now. Since you’re on a case, still pay attention to safety, you’re not a cop. If you really can’t solve it, it’d be best to come back quickly." Su Qingyu advised.

"Qingyu, you know me; no matter what, I won’t give up halfway on this case. But I do appreciate your concern, this case is indeed dangerous, but the more dangerous a case is, the more it signifies its importance, isn’t it?"

"Indeed, just make sure you stay safe."

"Don’t worry."

Ye Shikai sent Su Qingyu to the airport. Wu Yu decided to continue cooperating with Tianya Group, indeed because of Ye Shikai’s face. But since the contract continued, Su Qingyu had to return to Yanjing immediately. This matter was like a "lesson" for her; in the eyes of the strong, there are no weaklings, or rather, to obtain a stronger ally, a weakling could be discarded at any time. If one didn’t want to be abandoned, one must become strong.

Ye Shikai returned to the hotel, and Tianjing had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing him return, he immediately approached.

"We carefully checked Huo Hua’s information and found that besides going to the casino every day, he also regularly visits a bar." Tianjing told him. Every city has many bars, and it’s not only young people who go; given Huo Hua’s identity, it’s not strange for him to frequent a bar.

"What’s so odd about that?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"Every time he goes to the bar, he leaves within an hour. In my judgment, he’s not going there just for fun, he’s likely meeting someone." Tianjing analyzed.

"You’re quite right, then let’s start our investigation from this bar. Huo Hua is just a small figure after all; he definitely has superiors. We’ll track them level by level, and your people have already monitored all access routes in and out of Hong Kong. We’re going to catch them in a trap."

"Good, that’s what I thought too. I’ve already obtained the bar’s surveillance, and this person is the most suspicious." Tianjing took out a photo and handed it to Ye Shikai. It showed a young man, unlike Huo Hua, who was not chubby and even had handsome features, looking much younger than Huo Hua, probably in his twenties.

"So young, are you sure he’s Huo Hua’s superior?" Ye Shikai questioned.

"Not necessarily, but Huo Hua meets this young guy every day, very suspicious."

"Your National Security Bureau has information on everyone, now that you have the photo, I assume you know his identity?" Ye Shikai said.

"Certainly, he is the eldest son of the chairman of a real estate group in Hong Kong, in charge of many ventures. This group is famous in Hong Kong and is quite large; they have properties in not just Hong Kong but also in Yanjing." Tianjing introduced.

"Business this big, are you sure he’s associated with Huo Hua?" Ye Shikai was somewhat doubtful. The HST project was absolutely secret, the base would typically choose overlooked, abandoned factories, or other structures. A legitimate real estate group’s chairman’s son being involved; isn’t he worried about exposure?

However, Ye Shikai thought again, back when Zhao Rou managed the Mothman chemical park, wasn’t it her asset too? She was a big business figure in Yanjing, yet secretly the HST project leader, and kept the development under wraps until it succeeded. If it hadn’t been for an accident exposing the Mothman prematurely, no one might have noticed.

"Not necessarily partners, but definitely in cooperation."
